  1. Recommendation to all of you Always include a new line at the end of your .htaccess document. It is not important until you change something in Cpanel. I had a very hard time, trying to figure out why I got an internal server error (was to stupid to read the error log, but anyway), but in the end I figured out, that it happened because I changed some Handlers in the Cpanel, which led to the last line of my .htaccess looking like this: magic_quotes_runtime offAddHandler php php4 or something like that..It took me ages to figure out what was wrong, because I didn't remember screwing anything up. So be careful regarding this behaviour.
  2. Damn Quatrux you were faster than me, that just came to my head (I deleted a file with the file-manager two weeks ago..).I checked on it and yes: There is a folder on the root level of your user account, which goes by the name of: ".trash" (without quotes).All files that are deleted using the Cpanel File Manager end up there.In the File manager there is always a green recycle bin icon, saying "trash". Clicking it will empty the trash.But you deleted using FTP as far as I figured, so it's probably the cache thing. Just trying to make this problem solved completely so that we can redirect to this later.
  3. Nup, doesn't. Anyone knows a fix for it?Would the solution be to request SSH access. Who can give a little information on SSH? Just that much, so that I don't destroy anything and fix this issue..
  4. // Open the required database using the connection ID fetched above mysql_select_db ( 'coco563_content', $resid ); // Now query the database using the $tutorialid variable to fetch the correct content // Use the same connection resource id that was set above $result = mysql_query ( $query, $resid ); // Now check first whether a tutorial with that ID has been actually returned // '1' as a result implies that the tutorial exists and has been returned if ( mysql_num_rows ( $result ) == 1 ) {I think it was the semicolon missing in the first code line.. The thing with the not ended strings etc. is that the line it outputs as the one causing the error, is not necessarily the one that is "misspelled". You have to search your code from that line upwards till you find an irregularity.
  5. If you set up % as access host won't people be able to manipulate your database (yes there is a password, but it would probably be in that offline program, right?+ people would be able to query your database till it crashs?
  6. Ho! This thread tells me that the disk quota etc. isn't updated every minute, but only every few hours. Also, I saw on your screenshot the nice button saying "Clear File Usage Cache", ever tried pressing it? As long as the folder is gone and you can upload new stuff for it, you shouldn't worry in my eyes. good luck, ruben
  7. I know for sure that Eudora does all the stuff you want. I'm not so sure about Thunderbird (but it is possible to download/write extensions, so practically everything is possible).
  8. Good alternative programs are: ⢠Eudora ⢠Mozilla Thunderbird ⢠Apple Mail (integrated in Mac OS X) but there are a lot, lot more. I think Mail lacks the ability to set a file size that should be downloaded as Max (Eudora has the feature. Thunderbird might know, maybe with an extension.). I think the attachment location thing can be down with all programs. I remember setting it up in Eudora, but Mail is enabled to do so too I think. For the virus scans you need a virus protection system, either on your computer or on your Mail server. Gmail for example offers a virus protection. The user finaldesign round here always has some invitation links in his signature. There are plenty of anti-virus programs, so I can't recommend you "the" program to take. I think you would be happy with Eudora (I know that it fits your needs), maybe Thunderbird too (not so sure about the features). Eudora costs money though, if you want to get rid of the ad.
  9. I get this error when trying to access my database. Apparently my site caused connection errors.I mailed to Xisto - Support, but got no reply yet and I thought maybe it is possible to fix the problem myself, because I searched the internet and found that I have to access my site via SSH/telnet and use the command CONSOLE mysqladmin flush-hosts but I actually have no idea of how to do that and if I can do that. I think I have to specially request SSH access but I was thinking there might be the possibility to do this kind of stuff with Cpanel or somehow differently. When searching the Cpanel I found the message that I had to unclosed operations in MYsql. Don't know where the hell they come from. I don't know either what caused the connection errors. Could someone please help me with this issue? It puts my whole website down and I don't even no what the problem was. Would it solve my problem to request SSH access and then execute the command there? thanks, Ruben
  10. Hi,I started to design a vocable trainer and was presented with the difficulty of password-protecting my user's data for the first time.My situation is the following:the data, that I intend to protect is vocabulary, so, if people are not misusing it as a datashack, it won't contain confidential data. So the risk is not really that people have to be worried about hackers reading their darkest secrets. I just want to protect the information from the average script kiddie and people who want to harm the service by fooling with user data.On the other hand, I want to place google-ads on my site, which makes it inept to use Sessions etc.At the moment I am using a script, that md5s the password, checks with the database (first if the (clear-text) user name is existant and then if the md5-keys for the password match.) and then puts out a URL-String with the name and the password information. The String is read by each page and checked for correctness of course.So as a matter of fact, the md5-string and the user name are transferred clearly over the URL (GET-method/links) and appears also in the history etc. A bit like sessions, except that it does not expire.Well, I know that this is a crappy and inferior protection, but as you see I am not protecting the X-files here.Do you think that this is enough to keep scripts kids and potential haters at bay or can you suggest me some methods to enhance my protection? I can post the code of course, but since it is so simple you probably figure how it looks like. I don't have a special brute-force protection.Thanks a lot for help,Ruben
  11. Works fine for me on Mac. Sad thing I don't use Firefox that much. I'll try making it into a widget though. The right-clicking thing works for me (even though I have to ctrl-click to simulate right-click.It's cool, thanks a lot. When will the personalized version come out?
  12. This is something very helpful for webmasters, that want to change their server configuration but don't know how. It is a textfile that you load up to your web server to give it instructions on changing the configuration, but he actually explained that.Posts like yours (that don't contribute anything to the topic) are considered spam.I think that this is a great tutorial, thanks a lot for it. It would be of great help though, if you could mention your sources so that one can search for advanced knowledge of the topic.Did you write this by yourself? Because then I think you deserve more credits than you got because so much "real" information is included as comment in the code.
  13. Oh nice to know, that this is possible, I always thought we couldn't change the php.ini. You should make a nice tutorial some time! This is the thing that I was searching for, thanks a lot.Are register_globals on on Xisto? I never tried cos I do it the "right" way anyway, but I thought they were off..You just opened a door for me, thanks!
  14. Err, sorry I didn't see this post earlier when I had a similar question. Somehow I always find the threads I searched for and didn't find later on in the "similar threads" section. Did this work out for you? Because then I would be wondering how... I was trying to figure out how to upload bigger data amounts than 2MB but I did not come any further than to the php.ini which is not configurable by a standard user and which defines the setting globally for every upload using PHP (+ max post size which is 63MB or something, that's the second instance in there). The only workaround I came across was a file-splitter with Java I found on the Web, but that doesn't appear good to me..Please tell me what you achieved!
  15. Now that you have 30 credits invest them directly into the advanced package, because upgrading later on will cost you all your credits again and it would be credit waste to take package #1 (23 credits lost).I have a follow-up question on Audio: If the audio files are not published (not on a public website, for example password protected/non-public_html directory) will it be considered against the condition too? I was thinking about writing myself an online Mp3 player, you know, where I put in my password and then I can listen to some music even when not at home, but there are other legal purposes too.
  16. Hi,it works for me now, thank you. But when I tried to upload a 2MB+ file for testing purposes I was stuck in the loading process forever.. ISP problem or is there a low limit for Perl too? I don't know if there is a cgi.ini so I was wondering where to find out this limit. Thanks for your help, Quatrux!Ruben
  17. I love Wireless in combination with a laptop, it is a completely new experience of using the internet, when you sit outside in the sun, chatting to friends... The security thing is the following: If you are considering it for private use or for a small unimportant business, then you don't have to care that much about security: I used to live on the countryside, I did not even have a WEP key set up, because no one would make the effort to drive out to our house and monitor my computer (we would see them from 500meters away anyway ^^). And if you are living in the city, I would guess that a WEP key is enough to scare off a normal user. Even though it is quite easy to crack when you monitor the connection for weak packages with the right equipment, but it is not a thing everyone could do. If your neighbour hates you and is your business concurrence, you might want to think over it again, because he would just set his WLAN reception to listen and after a day of your extensive internet usage, he could see your WEP key.But I have to say: I've tried this kind of stuff with my iBook / Airport Extreme card and it didn't work at all (my equipment was not ideal).First of all I would recommend you looking if one of your neighbours left his connection unsecured ^^ then you can thank him for free internet access.
  18. Yo,I have tried to implement a simple script from hotscripts now (Perl/CGI) but it didn't work, I got an internal server error when just trying to call the script.What do I have to think of when using cgi on Xisto? All the scripts have to go in cgi-bin/ right? Then I can just link to them from my forms in the action-attribute and hope that it works.? Well it doesn't.Do I have to enable perl-support in the Cpanel or something (searched, but didnt find it)?Or is there a special way of implementing the modules? I can post my source codes if it helps, I'm still trying to understand it :-)I don't have it here right, now but I can come up with it later.Thanks a lot for help,Ruben
  19. I didn't know that the credit system is actually that complicated. I thought it was pretty much about the length of text and that's it. Now I understand why a certain someone has accumulated 800 credits ^^ Well, fellows, to learn how to post right, watch m^es posts actually now I understand why you post screenshots that often. I agree with you, that posting the whole routines and calculations would be a source for exploitation, but making the rules a little bit more obvious would make sense, wouldn't it? Not everyone agrees one what makes a good post and some people don't even know that quotes and code-inputs don't count (okay, quote is obvious, but code not necessarily). But alright, nice to know.
  20. Do I look so dangerous? I do? Oh thank you, I'm also afraid of Batman. I could be your Robin, my name is nearly the same.
  21. Well, I think, you should always give a separate page to the donation request. That makes it more personal than just putting up a button.On my page (where I provide a free service, see signature) I already begin with annoying them with my sympathy-requests on the front page (free service, student, developing on his own, no revenue) and as soon as I've made up a plan on what to use, I will make a page, explaining why etc.It's personal engineering dude, you should learn how that works. This way you can get yourself a free pizza :-II'm not going to give away any more ideas, they are worth gold.
  22. Damn, now I published my idea!Yeah, I dream about this.. One day, when I'm old and rich, I make this dream come true.. Imagine... good looking female firefighters, who drive to your apartment with a ladder. No sirene but nice music, so you hear them coming and open your window, when they "extinguish" your thirst with the giant beer cannon.. *drool&dream*
  23. I think the biggest part are articles that were not permitted yet like submitted tutorials waiting for approval. That's where I find the articles again later normally.
  24. So, why should this not be approved? Just wondering..I agree with you on the product advertising, I haven't seen any good services yet and you are dependent. I think today, Google Adsense launched a button, making users to download Firefox with Google Toolbar. Every leaded download 1$. That sure IS nice.m^e... sure, if you have the idea for a product you can sell. I don't (or at least not the resources to construct beer-firewagon driven by beautiful, horny women, always ready if a party runs out of beer).
  25. This nice site, which is still in beta stage, deals with typography in all its facettes. I got to know it over a funny thread about WTF and LOL. They made an experiment/competition, what would have happened, if the popular abbreviations WhatTheF*ck and laughoutloud. had become letters on the computer keyboard like the @ for example. Interesting results and it is an interesting website too. I'm not particularly interested in typography, but they have good ideas and I think they are a helpful community. Some people show pictures of fonts there and directly get answers saying which font it is, etc. So, if you're interested in typography or like it at least, this might become the site for you.
